Since high school, I worked at a vet’s office and at nights I relearned all the stuff I should have learned in high school. I was just about to apply to college when the Urluts decided I should get an all-expense paid trip to outer space.
WarDog eases his humongous body up onto my bed an inch at a time. I swear, he thinks he’s a lap dog. He also thinks I’m stupid and don’t notice he’s encroaching on my territory. How do you tell a two-hundred pound canine he’s relegated to the floor? I haven't figured that one out yet.
“All right, big guy. Kisses it is.”

I’ll be placing WarDog on pre-order just as soon as his cover is completed. Look for it in February 2021!
Who’s Who
Galaxy Gladiators:
Zar and Anya—The feline captain of the Fool’s Errand and Anya led the insurrection against their masters and freed all twenty slaves on the original ship. They are loving life mates.
Shadow and Petra—Shadow could pass for human except for his bionic parts, although he’s from planet Morgana. His mate, Petra, is a hairdresser.
Tyree (Tie-REE) and Grace—Tyree morphed from a three-foot-tall non-sexual being to a huge alpha male. His mate, Grace is known throughout the galaxy for her ethereal musical compositions.
Devolose and Tawny—(Dev-AH-lose rhymes with dose) This mated pair left the Galaxy Gladiators to join Dev’s cousin, Thantose, in the Galaxy Pirates series.
Dr. Drayke sun Omron (AHM-ron) and Nova—Nova came aboard after her arm was sliced off in a gladiator fight. Originally an MMA fighter, after she was abducted from Earth, she was trained as a gladiator. She now assists her mate, Drayke in medbay.
Axxios (AXX-ee-ose), Braxxus (BRAX-us), and Brianna—All males of this species are born as twins—one silver and one gold. The gold of the pair is more dominant. They fell hard for Brianna, a BBW massage therapist with a heart big enough to love them both.
Sirius (SEAR-ee-us) and Aliyah (aa·LEE·ya)—Born a geneslave with genetic material from different animal species, Sirius found his mate on planet Nativus. Aliyah was an Earth girl abducted young and nurtured by her native father. Her mother and father’s story is told in the novelette, Jax-Xon.
Dax and Dahlia—Dahlia was ripped from her life on Earth just days before her wedding. She had to adjust to life in space before she could realize how compelling her feelings were for huge gladiator, Dax.
Beast and Aerie (EH-ree)
Beast and Aerie joined the crew when they and three others were rescued from a slave ship. Beast is a Premier Gladiator (one of only ten in the Galaxy), and Aerie was stolen from her life as a Sports Attorney. She had a love for Louboutins and now prefers flipflops with chartreuse alien eyes.
Ar’tok (ARE-tock) and Star
Ar’Tok had just been freed from jail right when he was rescued from a slave ship along with Beast and Aerie. A shy male, he meets human Star through midnight comms. Their love blossoms concurrent with Wrage and Elyse’s book. This couple are not in the bang district, though. They’re on the more respectable part of the planet. Happy Blessed Peace Day.
Wrage (Rage) and Elyse (uh LEASE)
Recently freed from slavery as a gladiator, Wrage heckles Elyse mercilessly in her position as a slave singing in a bar. Elyse agrees to Wrage’s drunken marriage proposal, believing it will garner her freedom from both him and her owner. Little do they know that on the Pleasure planet there is no such thing as divorce.
Galaxy Pirates:
Sextus (SEX-tus) and Lexa
Sextus and Lexa begin on very bad terms and are throw together on a planet where she has to be subservient to him. He redeems his previous bad behavior by risking his life to save her. They were mated on his planet, Ceruleous.
Thantose (THAN-tose) The ‘th’ is pronounced like the ‘th’ in thought and Brin
The captain of the pirate ship had no desire for a mate until his protective instincts, and libido, were brought to life by Brin. Thantose is known for his love of theft, credits, the game of klempto, but most all his love for his mate.
Ssly (rhymes with fly) and Carrie
Ssly, a hover-chariot racer, keeps to himself to care for his adopted human daughter, Tru. He wants nothing to do with Carrie but needs her help to get Tru the medical help she needs. The two fell in love and the little family settled on Ssly’s home planet.
